FALL COMMON ROOM - WEEK 1

[dormheads]

common room.

The common room of the Fall Dorm has soft, dimmer lighting; plush carpet over wood; and several comfortable chairs and sectionals. A few big windows overlook the dormitory area of campus, but there is also a single, cozy bay window on one side.

A television and bluetooth surround-sound are here for Fall students who are more inclined to be tech savvy. In the cabinets under the entertainment stand are an assortment of board games, but the television does have a generic "free tv" app for shows and music.

Above the enormous center fireplace is a moody painting.

This week, there's something else.

specialty room.

Through a door on the first floor, there is an antigravity room. Stepping just a few feet through the doorway will lift everyone up into the air. The seating and most of the rest of the room remains somehow rightfully in place on the floor and will not move. Students, however, can grab pillows and blankets, cups or bowls, or other small items to bring into the air with them.

Please use this as an open post for members of Fall Dorm. You may post top-levels whenever you'd like and go wild. A new post will go up at the start of each week.

Okay. I dare you to . . . eat the whole plate of chicken.

[He brought the chicken for Bradley but he doesn't even want it. No one else seems to be eating.]

[battling]

[he WOULD eat it if he wasn't so recently covered in rotting meat.

this is suffering.]

[headsplitter]

What, is that it?! This barely counts as a dare!

[ BRADLEY THIS IS MY CHICKEN NOW THANKS CALEB YOU'RE THE BEST
This plate of chicken didn't stand a chance. ]

How about you, truth or dare?!

[katzepaw]

Hmm. Truth.

[He's. Scared of what Caiman's dares would be.]

[headsplitter]

[ Stop he is such a nice boy maybe. ]

If you could pick any one magical ability in the world, what would it be?

[katzepaw]

[Laughs unfortunately this is. Such a question to ask him. He can't help but chuckle at it, and has to think.]

. . . Well, I am interested in dunamancy. It is a school of magic that is unknown in the Empire where I studied and trained, but I've had the opportunity to learn a little about it. It involves, uhm, manipulation of forces such as gravity, energy, and time. Very interesting, and powerful in the right hands.

[. . . After a second though.] However, if I were to limit it to one, uhm, spell or ability - anti-magic fascinates me. I would like to be able to cancel out another caster's abilities. Even for a moment.

[headsplitter]

Time...

[ His eyes are a bit sharp. ]

I know someone who's got that kind of magic. Though, magic types isn't something that's taught in my world, so I don't think she can help you anyways.

[ But brightens after that! ] If I could learn anti-magic, I totally would too! Actually, I guess I might be the closest thing to anti-magic we've got around? Sorcerer magic doesn't work on me!

[katzepaw]

It's more of a hobby than anything. The most useful I've learned is the gravity manipulation.

[But he sounds a little more interested at that.]

Yes, I do believe you have a type of anti-magic to you. Without spells, we wizards aren't much of a challenge, ja? It would be good to know. I've been tinkering with some ideas for a long time, but nothing as complete as that.

[headsplitter]

That's cool that you can just learn that kind of stuff. [ Wao! But also does he sound a tiny tinge jealous somewhere? ]

Yup! Well, not most of them anyway. Most Sorcerers never bothered to learn how to fight 'cause they can rely on magic. Underestimated one of 'em because of that real bad, so I'm a bit more careful now.
